From: Sara Grade 7th Parkside Junior High School Normal, IL	To: Arianna Hey whats up? Well I just read ch. 12 about the dog and the racoon. I don't think that it would really happen.

From: Jay Grade 7 Parkside Junior High School Normal, IL	To: Amanda The people who bombed the church were prejudice, and they wanted to tell the people in the church that they were better, but Joetta had left because she thought that the church was too hot and had left for home. While Joey was on the way home the whites or who ever did the act, bombed the church. Joey's mom and dad thought that she was still in the church and started to cry because she probably thought that Joey was dead.

From: Jennifer Grade 7th Parkside Junior High School Normal, IL	To: Arianna I love my dog but I'd definitly make someone else do mouth to mouth on her, and no I don't think a racoon would drown a dog.
From: Christie Grade 7th Parkside Junior High School Normal, IL	To: Cassie I think that the part about Joetta having agel wings was pretty neat. Remember when earlier on in the story when one of the neighbors gave Joey that little angel, I thought about that and it seemed pretty neat to me!

From: Aly Grade 7'th Parkside Junior High School Normal, IL	I can't believe that By's parents shaved his head after he got a "conk"! That was so mean of them! And even worse... they sent him to his Grandma's house for the whole summer, or depending on the way he acts, the WHOLE school year!

From: Kate Grade 5 Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart Princeton, NJ	To: Christopher Paul Curtis I have a question about the chapters involving the bombing. I don't really understand what happened in the book like, where was Kenny and how did he save Joey? Also, how did mom and dad keep the secret of the bombing away from joey? wouldn't she suspect the big boom? Other than those few qestions i really loved this book. It had good twists and turns.

From: heather Grade 5 Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart Princeton, NJ	To: Christopher Paul Curtis I think the boming was really sad in the book. But scarier in real life. It makes me sad to hear about things in modern times like that. Don't you think also? please answer

I was surprise that she didn't care if his dad did. She didn't care if her husband did anything to Byron. All of my friends were laughing so much they want to burst out laughing when our teacher and us were reading The Watson Go to Birmingham. Thats all please mail me back and hurry!
